it's strange that I guy used to programming languages feels awkward 
about a text interface.  Plus, were you ever taught that one shouldn't 
judge a book by its cover?  Notepad in all its glorious graphical user 
interface is much more featureless and rudimentar than vi on an old Unix 
terminal.

There is power in words, they make spells and those magical enchantments 
make things happen in the real world, like dispensing cash at your local 
ATM.
